Before wp4webnovel.com could regain wp4webnovel.com senses, Mark pounced forward and pressed against wp4webnovel.com lips. “I won’t allow it. You cannot leave! You are not allowed to leave my sight!” wp4webnovel.com whispered hoarsely, brushing his lip against hers.
Arianne wanted to explain that wp4webnovel.com was merely heading out to relax and enjoy the art exhibition, but wp4webnovel.com didn’t give wp4webnovel.com the chance. She could tell that Mark was sick, and it was pretty severe too.
His mind was slightly muddled. With wp4webnovel.com holding wp4webnovel.com down, wp4webnovel.com lost all means of resistance. Then, just as wp4webnovel.com was about to suffocate, wp4webnovel.com finally moved his lips down to wp4webnovel.com neck.
She gasped, wp4webnovel.com breathing growing unstable. “Mark… You’re sick, let’s go to the hospital… Stop it…”
He ignored wp4webnovel.com as if wp4webnovel.com didn’t hear wp4webnovel.com at all.
Arianne’s mind was in a blur. In the end, wp4webnovel.com did not let wp4webnovel.com get away… Would wp4webnovel.com be disgusted by wp4webnovel.com filth when wp4webnovel.com returned to sobriety?
He finally collapsed into sleep when the storm ended, still lying on top of her…
She found it very hard to breathe, as if wp4webnovel.com body was going to collapse from exhaustion.
She waited for some of wp4webnovel.com strength to return before carefully pushing wp4webnovel.com off wp4webnovel.com and adjusting wp4webnovel.com into a comfortable sleeping position.
Mark’s fever had not subsided. Arianne took out an unfinished pack of flu pills from wp4webnovel.com luggage and looked at him. His face was still a little hot. She fed wp4webnovel.com the medication via mouth-to-mouth and gave wp4webnovel.com some water using the same method.
After ascertaining that wp4webnovel.com had swallowed it, wp4webnovel.com dragged wp4webnovel.com extremely feeble body and tidied up the room. When wp4webnovel.com saw a red patch on the bed sheet, wp4webnovel.com mind buzzed. It was true, three years ago on that night with Will Sivan, wp4webnovel.com did not feel anything when wp4webnovel.com woke up. The difference was so distinct compared to whatever happened today. Did that mean that nothing had happened between wp4webnovel.com and Will? That they were young at the time and were amateurs, so they didn’t know anything…?
She couldn’t describe wp4webnovel.com feelings.
Knowing that wp4webnovel.com was a germaphobe, Arianne cleaned the bloodstain off the bed. She waited for it to air dry, then lay down to rest.
The very next day, wp4webnovel.com woke up to find Mark smoking in a chair, not too far away. The room was already fogged up by a thin layer of smoke. The ashtray was also half full.
“You caught a cold,” wp4webnovel.com said perceptively. “You were sick last night, and your throat was hoarse. If you’re going to smoke…”
It seemed that they would both catch a cold every year during winter. She wasn’t surprised at all. However, his cold was worse than usual, probably because wp4webnovel.com was worn out from being constantly on the move.
Mark ignored her, aiming his line of sight downwards. It was hard to discern the emotions on his face from the side, but there was a hint of sternness on the corners of his lips.
She lowered wp4webnovel.com eyelids and did not say anything more. She shifted wp4webnovel.com body and felt a wave of soreness. Her face began to burn up again when wp4webnovel.com remembered whatever happened last night… That was their first time devoting themselves to each other.
“Time to go,” Mark said in a commanding tone after finishing his cigarette.
